FDD Index FAQs

  • The FDD Index organizes information from public Franchise Disclosure Documents so you can compare disclosed sales, investment, fees, and system growth across brands. It reads the numbered FDD items and keeps source context beside the figures.

  • Public FDD filings from the California, Minnesota, and Wisconsin registries, plus your own uploaded FDD where available. Check the filing year and source before treating a figure as current.

  • Item 19 covers disclosed financial performance, Item 20 covers system outlets and changes, Item 7 covers initial investment, and Items 5–6 cover fees. Not every brand reports the same measures, so missing figures should not be read as zero.

  • No. Item 19 describes the outlets and periods covered by that brand’s disclosure. Read the sample, exclusions, and definitions before comparing brands. Average sales are not a promise of your revenue, profitability, or investment return.

  • Franlever checks public filings quarterly. New figures depend on a brand publishing a new filing, so the filing year matters more than assuming every row changed this quarter.

  • No. Public FDD research can be used before store data is connected. The index is included in the plan; it serves a different purpose from Benchmarks, which compares the operating records of your own stores.
